Bethesda has released version 1.2 for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition on Nintendo Switch 2, introducing toggleable Performance and Visuals modes to address player complaints about frame rates and input lag. The update, which arrived on February 18, 2026, allows players to choose between 30 frames per second for sharper graphics or 60 frames per second with reduced visual details. It also includes numerous fixes for crashes, performance issues, and user interface problems.

Building on prior updates, Bethesda's Todd Howard shared in a KindaFunny interview that The Elder Scrolls 6 will emphasize the franchise's traditional immersive style, powered by an upgraded Creation Engine 3 and led by the core Skyrim team.
